Chanel Le Rouge Collection No 1 Lips

And here’s Lucia herself, presenting her collection. A red re-interpretation is a huge ask, especially when there are SO many red lipsticks in the world already. I feel she has managed to put her own stamp on red and to create a collection that is bonded by one common thread although you have to look hard to see it (and in the case of the mascara.. never actually find it!). Chanel Le Rouge Collection No 1 collection does feel as though it’s born of creativity and not Homebase style colour charts. It doesn’t, at the end of the day, matter whether you appreciate the creative process or not, or are even aware of it – if there’s a red that speaks to you, that’s enough.

The collection launches on 5th August.

That nude looks really interesting! I like the concept of the collection but I do wish they’d chosen at least a few more bolder colours, but I suppose the chanel customer isn’t necessarily what you’d expect to be into a ‘lady vengeance’ look
